India is Developing a $10 Laptop, Can Anybody Beat That?

July 30, 2008 6 Comments

If you think that the $99 netbook was the cheapest computing machine, wait till some organization in India come up with their own netbook/laptop which would cost a mere $10. Yes, you read it right, a $10 laptop.

The low-cost or better yet, the ultra dirt cheap laptop is part of a collaborative research being done by the Indian Institute of Science and the Indian Institute of Technology and is aimed at raising the quality of higher education in India.

Unfortunately, no information on specs and details are available yet for the said device. Neither was it known whether how these organizations will be able to produce this laptop.

India is among those countries which did not participate in the OLPC project because Indian government officials were not sold to the idea of giving one laptop per every Indian child. Making them pay $10 for it is more acceptable.

    Wow……. This blog is amazing. I think no one can beat that……$100 OLPC XO machine hasn’t gotten off pleasantly since it was introduced, and besides it was not meant . I am glad to have read your article.
